A long time ago CJ stood for Civilian Jeep, after that it just became the model name YJ, TJ, XJ.

MJ (military Jeep) CJ ( civilian Jeep) then the J's just kept coming as part of the brand. Now what about the JK?

kj = kute jeep aka Liberty. haha.

xj = cherokee
yj = first gen wrangler
tj = 2nd gen wrangler
jk = 3rd gen wrangler
zj = grand cherokee (either first or second gen)

those are all the ones i konw off the top of my head. there's more like the commander and 3rd gen grand, etc... haha.

Here ya go, everything you never wanted to know about jeep designations

I thought WJ was a grand cherokee... might be a different generation tho

CJ was the first "wrangler" style, based on the military platform

MJ is the pickup (aka Commanche)

YJ is the square headlight wrangler

 

[rockwerks]

SJ, ZJ, WJ, WK are all jeep grand cherokee designation
